Solstice

"I heard a bird sing

In the dark of December

A magical thing

And sweet to remember.

'We are nearer to Spring

Than we were in September,'

I heard a bird sing

In the dark of December."

- Oliver Herford, I Heard a Bird Sing



I wasn't expecting to see the eclipse, but there it was last night!


Finally, we've reached our shortest day (of sunlight), and now our days will gradually get longer. I will be so happy to see the sun when it finally makes it back over the mountain.
